16 The Lord roars from Zion,
    and sounds His voice from Jerusalem,
    and heaven and earth quake.
But the Lord is a refuge for His people,
    and a stronghold for the children of Israel.

The Lord Dwells in Zion

17 Then you will know that I am the Lord your God,
    who dwells in Zion, My holy mountain.
And Jerusalem will be holy,
    and invaders will never again pass through her.

18 And it will be that in that day the mountains will drip sweet wine,
    and the hills will flow with milk,
    and all the streambeds of Judah will flow with water;
a spring will proceed from the house of the Lord
    and will water the Valley of Shittim.
